Cuisinart: Heavy-Duty Water Filtration for Your Counter

If you're like me, you live in a tiny apartment that doesn't have the luxury of filtered tap water, forcing you to make grocery runs carrying 2 gallon jugs of water every single weekend. Well, I say enough of that. This new Cuisinart Cleanwater Countertop Filtration System will filter tap out water's yuck-factor (like chroline, mercury, and lead) and leave nothing but crystal clear temperature controlled water for your drinking pleasure.

The Cuisinart® Cleanwater Countertop Filtration System features a filter life of 80 gallons, that's 3-4 months of clean water for the average household. The actual container itself holds 2 gallons and uses blue/red LED indicators that light up when you're picking your water temperature preference.

Made of stainless steel housing (matches my kitchen quite well, actualy), the system is expected to retail at $169 and will be released January 23, 2009.
